A lot gets buried in the privacy discussions but the unfair trade practices are also a problem. For example Western app makers don't have access to Chinese consumers the same way Chinese app makers have access to Western consumers.

Even companies as large as Uber got strong armed in china. From having traffic shut off completely inside the country without warning (no net neutrality laws) to having to setup an entirely new business in china that didn’t touch the US one. I have little sympathy and i hope that the Us continues to push restrictions on china tech.

App needs to meet the standards of local laws, its not like China is just targeting American apps. The US has laws bases on color tone lol
